Poor Service

Reviewed By robertls326

If you have a complaint and you ask for help to fix your problem, complain all you want, but there will be no SERVICE! The only thing you will get from the staff is an apology and that's it. For me to stay at this motel it would have to be no other accommodations available within the area I need to stay.

No Manager help for multi rooms reserved with points

Reviewed By tormsm

I am a Platinum Elite IHG member and have always tried to stay at one of their properties when planning travel. I made two reservations using my IHG points to travel to a family wedding. This hotel was located about halfway. On the day of travel we had a family emergency and we were unable to stay at the hotel. No one at IHG or at this hotel was willing to do anything to help with this reservation. I lost all my points. I called IHG 4 times trying to talk to someone about my situation. I was hung up on twice after being transferred to One Rewards agent and the hotel management and customer care was not willing to do anything. My recommendation would be to find a different hotel and chain

Huge empty room

Reviewed By Robin M

Stayed overnight while traveling through. Requested a king room and boy did we get a king room! It must have been a double queen room that they replaced the two queen beds with one king because the room looked bare even though there was the normal desk, entertainment area and dresser and a small occasional chair. Bed was comfortable, room was clean. Bathtub area looked new but the tub was very narrow and quite frankly a little dangerous. Just had to be careful. Also the shampoo, soup dispensers were placed on the side wall so that it made the area even narrower. Front desk staff, both evening and morning were very friendly and helpful. In fact the morning front desk gal was handling both the front desk and the breakfast area and doing a great job at both!

Good road trip/"passing thru" hotel.

Reviewed By joe04162022

The hotel is older but very clean and staff helpful. However, it's clear as soon as you arrive that it's a trucker stop. Truckers need to sleep too but this is definitely a stop on your way to final destination and shouldn't be where you put your family up for vacation. Also, they made sure we parked in certain areas (again to be helpful) for best safety of our vehicle.
